Accountant Negligence
Claims Solicitors
If your accountant gave negligent tax advice, failed to file returns correctly, prepared inaccurate accounts, or gave poor business advice that caused you financial loss, you may have a claim. Accountants are required to hold professional indemnity insurance.
No Win, No Fee — Accountant Negligence Claims
If your claim is unsuccessful, you pay nothing. We offer no win no fee agreements for accountant negligence claims in appropriate cases. ATE insurance covers the other side's costs if you lose — giving you complete financial protection.
After-the-Event (ATE) Insurance — Protection Against the Other Side's Costs
ATE insurance covers you against having to pay the defendant's legal costs if your claim is unsuccessful. Combined with our no win no fee agreement, you face no financial risk in pursuing a legitimate accountant negligence claim. The ATE premium is typically only payable if your claim succeeds.
